GPIB Connection Problem: First Post Please Help!

Hi everybody, this is my first post so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I am using a potentionstat made by Princeton Applied Research, Model 273A, and a program called Research Electrochemistry Software that helps me do voltammetry. However, when I run the program, I encounter an error that says "gpib_error_check 49508," so I assume that there is a problem with the GPIB connection. I have checked multiple times to make sure all the cables are connected correctly, so I don't think that's the issue. When I open NI-488.2 and I select my instrument (Instrument0), the value says "Instrument did not respond," so I'm guessing this is the problem. Moreover, when I try to communicate with the instrument by querying "*IDN?", the output is iberr = EABO, which means that there is a timeout condition because the I/O operation has been cancelled. We have tried reconnecting cables and restarting the machines, everything short of reinstalling the program because doing so would be difficult. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Ben
